Along with more space than can be filled by furniture in our former 800 sq ft apartment, I’ve inherited a pretty amazing garden at the new house. Now, if you know me, this basically means nothing. I tend to kill plants at an alarming rate, without even trying. But the former owners so kindly put in an auto-sprinkler system so it’s almost Sarah-proof! I’ve started researching what to do with all the fun new veggies and herbs I now have.

In a food processor, thoroughly blend the basil leaves until they’re in very small pieces. Pulse in the parmesan cheese and minced garlic. Slowly add olive oil into the food processor in a constant stream and blend until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and a little bit of pepper, stir it all up, and enjoy. This makes about 1 cup (and I decimated my garden supply).
